Forget all the what ifs.
Price is elite.
Shneider's not there yet.
Simple as that.
This is for the next 2-3 years. Schneider has a few things up in the air. As a Canucks fan, I REALLY doubt they deal Schneider and keep Luo. For the intent of this post, let's pretend Schneider is a Canuck for the foreseeable future.
Thanks!

Price all the way for me, proven track record on an improving team. Others may disagree but the window on the Canucks is closing with the Sedins getting closer to the wrong side of 30 every year, you just know they will retire together. The Habs on the other hand have talented youth to form a solid core which stands to improve over the next few years. Keep in mind the solid numbers Price has put up on a mediocre team in prior years. This guy will win a Vezina in the next few years.
Carey Price >> Schneider.
He's got the #'s to back it up this year. Faced some adversity last year after an excellent year before that ('10-11). He continues to mature, evolving his craft and shaping up to join the tier 1 elite by next year. I have GMs in multiple leagues, not just one..claiming Price is untouchable. It was laughable at first, but in 2-3 years..I see that happening.

Price for me as well.
Price every day of the week and twice on Sunday. He has become what Schneider is hoping to be and is actually a couple years younger to boot.
